The Outer Harbour
Autor Wayde Comptonen Limba Engleză Paperback – 11 mai 2015
Wayde Compton's debut story collection is imbued with the color of speculative fiction; one strand of stories follows the emergence of a volcanic island, which alternatively becomes the site of a radical Native peoples' occupation, a real-estate development, and finally a detention center for illegal immigrants. Moving from 2001 through to 2025, The Outer Harbour is at once a history book and a cautionary tale of the future, condensing and confounding our preconceived ideas around race, migration, gentrification, and home.
Wayde Compton is the author of three poetry collections. He is director of the Writer's Studio at Simon Fraser University.

Recenzii
"The Outer Harbour is the hybrid lovechild of a poet and prophet. So assured, so eloquent, my thought on the final page was, How did this not exist before? It's a rare thing, a debut from a writer who's already a master craftsman, creating in his prime." —Mat Johnson, author of Pym, Drop, and Hunting in Harlem
"Like Swift or the undeservedly little known American satirist Nathaniel West, Compton makes the reader laugh, grieve and wince uncomfortably, all often in the course of a single page ... The Outer Harbour is the work of a remarkable, mature writer at the top of his powers, creating fictions that are not only vastly entertaining but also freighted with important messages from the margins." —Vancouver Sun
